Tom Holland, known for his role in Spider-Man, recently shared an unexpected detail about how he navigates relationship anxiety while away from his girlfriend, Euphoria star Zendaya. Despite their efforts to maintain privacy, Holland revealed that he sometimes Googles her name to make sure sheโs safe and doing well. His openness provides a glimpse into how the pressures of public life impact even the most private parts of his relationship.
Tom Hollandโs Unique Way of Easing Relationship Anxiety
Hollandโs candid confession came during an interview on Samah Dadaโs podcast On The Menu, where he mentioned that he searches for Zendayaโs name on Google as a way of coping with his worries. Since he stays away from social media, he feels more distant from real-time updates on his partner, which sometimes causes him to feel uneasy. โSometimes, itโs more of a bit of an anxiety thing, but Iโll check to see if everythingโs good and make sure weโre all cool,โ Holland explained. โSo I just give her a little Google and look through the news, and Iโm like, โSheโs good. Weโre fine.โโ
This unusual routine is part of Hollandโs approach to managing life as a public figure while also protecting his mental well-being. His feelings resonate with fans, as they bring attention to the challenges of long-distance relationships for those constantly in the spotlight. Hollandโs efforts reflect the difficulties couples face when they have limited access to private communication due to their fame and busy schedules.
Tom Holland and Zendayaโs Private Yet Highly Followed Relationship
Known affectionately as โTomdayaโ by fans, Tom Holland and Zendaya have become one of Hollywoodโs most beloved young couples. They officially started dating in 2021, after meeting on the set of Spider-Man: Homecoming in 2017. Since then, the couple has managed to maintain a balance between their personal lives and public personas, aiming to keep their relationship private and away from the constant scrutiny that comes with fame.
In a previous interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Holland emphasized their mutual desire to keep their relationship โsacredโ and not let the public influence it. Zendaya echoed these sentiments in her own interview with Elle, highlighting their commitment to maintaining a boundary around their love life. She expressed that while some parts of their lives are inevitably public, they have control over what stays private.
Fans recently witnessed this commitment to privacy in action when Holland was seen protectively guiding Zendaya through a crowded event. The clip, which quickly went viral, showed him shielding her from fans and paparazzi while attending the launch of his non-alcoholic beer brand. This moment reinforced their bond and his dedication to keeping her safe in the public eye, a quality fans have celebrated widely.
